Chapter 9: I Want to Help Some People and Change Some Things
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The might of this strike was truly ridiculously formidable, and it completely exceeded Cui Heng’s expectations.
Initially, he thought that it was just an ordinary swordplay technique from a martial arts world. No matter how powerful it was, it would not be that strong. He did not expect it to be this powerful.
The sword split apart the clouds in the sky, and the aftershock created a three-meter deep ravine on the ground!
If he were on Earth, he would be a superhuman.
Cui Heng was inexplicably excited.
This was the excitement of having powerful strength.
Before this, although he had been cultivating for a hundred years and had already reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and his physique and mental strength had already surpassed that of ordinary people by countless times, he had yet to grasp the methods to truly unleash such power.
It was like sitting on a treasure mountain but not knowing how to use it. He didn’t know how much assets he had.
Now, along with this slash, Cui Heng suddenly realized that his strength seemed to be quite passable.
However, this excitement did not last long.
He quickly realized that the sword technique that allowed him to unleash such power—
Was only a kind of nurturing sword technique from Jiang Qiqi’s world!
Since he could slash out such a powerful sword light, it meant that as long as the people in that world had the same cultivation as him, they could also slash out sword lights with the same power.
This was definitely not a sword technique that could be found in a normal martial arts world!
Ordinary martial arts worlds did not have the means to develop such advanced swordsmanship.
Moreover, this was only a nourishing sword technique and not a sword technique that emphasized on killing!
“If it was that kind of sword technique that was specially created for killing, how powerful would it be?” Cui Heng was amazed.
The sudden surge of power gave him a huge shock. He was convinced that this was no ordinary swordplay.
It should be some kind of highly advanced supernatural martial arts.
“In a world like this, if one can cultivate their sword art to the highest level, they might be able to cut down the sun, moon, and stars with just a flick of their finger.”
Cui Heng couldn’t help but feel emotional.
As expected of a high-level immortal realm!
None of their worlds was simple.
First, it was a cultivation world like Hong Fugui’s, then it was a fantasy martial arts world like Jiang Qiqi’s.
They were places where experts were as common as clouds and danger lurked everywhere.
He actually thought that it was just an ordinary martial arts world.
What a huge mistake.
Now, the trace of joy and excitement in Cui Heng’s heart had dissipated.
He once again deeply felt that his strength was severely lacking.
In this fantasy martial arts world, what was an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?
He was definitely an ant-like existence.
He absolutely could not allow himself to turn arrogant just because he suddenly grasped a powerful force.
Moreover, in the world of Jiang Qiqi and Hong Fugui, such ability was probably not even worth mentioning.
While Cui Heng was mentally preparing himself.
Jiang Qiqi’s heart was also in turmoil.
In her eyes, that sword was akin to a miracle.
It was totally beyond her comprehension.
It was beyond her understanding.
It was too ridiculous!
Too powerful!
Could martial arts be so powerful?
He must have practiced martial arts to the peak and became an immortal!
Otherwise, how could he be so strong?
No, that’s not right. Big Brother Immortal was originally an Immortal. Actually, it should be Big Brother Immortal who was powerful!
Turning something rotten into something magical!
To turn an ordinary life nurturing sword technique into such an extraordinary sword Dao!
Jiang Qiqi looked at Cui Heng with even more admiration.
She had always had a thought, which was to walk the pugilistic world and root out the oppressors and help the weak, becoming a true hero.
And this required a sufficiently powerful martial arts foundation.
“Big Brother Immortal!” Jiang Qiqi took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Cui Heng. “Please teach me the Immortal sword technique!”
“Immortal sword technique?” Cui Heng couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard this, and then he came to a sudden understanding.
It seemed like this little girl didn’t know how powerful the sword technique she cultivated was. She probably thought that it was because I was the one who slashed out that sword technique that it had such exaggerated power.
But in fact, if not for the fact that the martial technique had a high upper limit, how could he be able to unleash such a powerful force?
The sword technique itself was extraordinary.
But that was normal.
From Jiang Qiqi’s previous description, it seemed that she had never come into contact with a master who had achieved greater mastery in martial arts. It was normal for her to have a misconception.
“Yes, the Immortal swordsmanship!” Jiang Qiqi nodded her head extremely seriously and looked at Cui Heng with bright eyes. “I want to roam the martial world, root out the oppressors and help the weak and those who need help!”
Her words were uttered with staunch determination.
“Why do you have such thoughts?” Cui Heng didn’t answer and asked instead, slightly curious.
Unlike Hong Fugui, who was born at the bottom and had suffered a lot, Jiang Qiqi had a good life. She just needed to find a good family and build a home with a husband and children, and she could live the rest of her life peacefully.
Why would she want to roam the martial world and help the weak?
After all, it was very dangerous to roam the martial world. One day, she might be swept away by random sword lights and saber lights.
“Because… I’m a very lucky person.”
Jiang Qiqi’s voice was soft and gentle, as if she was lost in her memories. She smiled lightly and said, “I have been very lucky since I was young. I was born into a rich family, and I had parents who doted on me and six brothers who loved me.
Although I have some illnesses, as long as I persist in taking medicine every day, there won’t be any major problems. The doctors also take care of me sincerely. There’s even a kind old Daoist priest who taught me the Life Nourishing Sword Technique to strengthen my body.
After I came into contact with my family’s business, many of my neighbors and customers took good care of me, allowing me to achieve results and even have the title of a prodigy.
This made me understand that I’m indeed a very lucky person. Many people were kind to me and helped me, but I shouldered this luck and didn’t do anything, nor did I help others.
I’ve heard many legends of the pugilistic world. They say that heroes travel the world, rooting out oppressors and helping the weak. However, I’ve never seen such a hero. I’ve only seen martial artists bully the weak.
Sometimes, I wonder if I should accept the good fortune that the heavens have given me. Everyone has given me so much help.
But can I also go out and do some things, help some people, and make others feel that they are lucky too?
Can I also walk the pugilistic world and be a true hero who fights the strong and helps the weak, changing some things?
However, in the past, I could only think about these things. I don’t have a healthy body that can allow me to travel the world, nor do I have martial arts abilities that can fight the strong and support the weak. I… couldn’t do anything.
But in the end, I encountered another stroke of fortune, meeting you. Big Brother Immortal, I—I wish to learn the Immortal sword arts from you.
Although this request might be a little selfish and insatiably greedy, and I haven’t expressed my gratitude even after you treated my illness, I still made such a request…
If you need anything, I’ll do my best.”
“I see.” Cui Heng smiled. “Actually, you’ve already given me what I need.”
“Ah?” Jiang Qiqi was confused.
“Wait here tomorrow morning.” Cui Heng turned around, his back facing Jiang Qiqi as he walked towards the Beginner’s Hut. “I will teach you a set of sword techniques.”
By the time he finished speaking, he had already walked into the house and disappeared.
Jiang Qiqi was stunned for a moment before tears welled up in her eyes. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.
“Big Brother Immortal, thank you!”
